초록

한국의 의료기기 산업은 1995년부터 시작된 G7 의료공학기술개발사업으로 본격적인 성장과 발전의 기틀을 마련하였으며 2020년 한국 의료기기 생산실적은 2001년에 비하여 8.52배, 수출 실적은 13.94배 성장하였다. 의료기기 국산화 개발 초기에 초음파 의료기기 등 전자 의료기기의 개발이 활발하였던 것과 비교하여 2020년에는 체외진단시약과 치과용 임플랜트의 생산 및 수출 실적이 상위권을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 한국 의료기기 시장에서 수입 의료기기가 차지하는 비중은 60-70%에서 큰 변화가 없는데 이는 한국의 의료기기 산업이 중저가 의료기기를 생산 수출하고, 기술집약적이고 자본집약적인 고가 의료기기는 주로 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 한국과 세계시장의 주요 의료기기 회사들의 생산 품목을 비교하여 한국 의료기기 산업의 세계 시장 진출에 대한 전략을 제시하고자 한다.

Korean medical device industry has laid the foundation for full-fledged growth and development with the G7 medical engineering technology development project that started in 1995, and the medical device production in 2020 increased by 8.52 times and the export by 13.94 times, compared to those in 2001. In early years, electronic medical devices such as ultrasound imaging device contributed greatly to Korean medical industry, but top ranks in medical device production and export in Korea has shifted recently to in vitro diagnostic medical devices and dental implants. However, the share of imported medical devices in the Korean medical device market have not changed much; it still ranges in 60 to 70%, as the Korean medical device industry produces and exports mid- to low-priced medical devices, and technology-intensive and capital-intensive high-priced medical devices are mainly imported. In this paper, we compare the leading medical devices produced by major Korean companies and those by global top medical device companies to suggest strategies for the Korean medical device companies to enter the global market.
